Nine long-haired women are clothed in ankle-length beaver-nylon gowns with 3,5 meter long sleeves. Each woman stands in front of a her own water-filled wooden barrel and behind each of them there is a hot griddle.

One or several of the women grab the edges of the barrel, thrust down their heads, remain in the water for a moment, and then return to a standing position. The movement of the hair describes an arc and hits their backs with a clear crack. The water strikes the hot griddles with a clear sizzle, a cloud of steam rises to the ceiling. They whip the barrells with their long, wet sleeves. They dive into them…
